A Momentous Question.

When does a woman cease to be
young, or rather to be entitled to that
epithet? That is the delicate ques-
tion which q French project has I'M
dertaken to answer. Some years ago
O. certain will left the sum Of 10000
francs, the interest of which was to be
given annually to some unmarried
woman of the working classes who, by
her capacity and good conduct, should
be in q position to marry with the
help of a little money. In carrying
out the will it became necessary for
the project of the Seine to determine
the exact significance of the words
"young woman" and he has decided
that they include the period between
FL and 80. At 80, then, an unmar-
ried woman may bid adieu to youth
and resign herself to be an old maid.
This extremely ex-cathedra pronounce
ment may WIN a. feigned Or forced as
sent from the candidates for the Bar
bet Batifol prize, but it will meet with
only contemptuous rejection from the
sex at large-at least that portion of
it which has passed the fatal limit.
A woman is as young as she looks,
just as a man is as young as he feels,
and really capable woman is never
80 until she is 40 or married.

He Laughs Best Who Laughs Last

''YOu've got some nice wood over
there In your yard" said q seedy-
looking tramp to an Austin Avenue
lady.
eyes," said the lady of the house.
81 would like to carry it in for you,"
said he.
"My husband intends to carry it in, :"
said she.
"Well," said the tramp, ct will carry
t in, and pile it up nice ifyou will give
me my breakfast"
At this offer the lady consented, and
the tramp went to work.
After he carried in q couple of arm
fuls the lady stepped to the door and
found him sitting on the pile with his
claws on his knees and his face buried
in his hands.
"What is the matter ?" said she.
ooh, lady" said he, looking up,
81 am so weak, for [ have had moth
ing to eat since day before yesterday"
and he again covered his face with his
hands.
This seemed to rouse the lady's
sympathy, and she went in and soon
returned with an excellent breakfast.
After he had swept everything from
the board, he arose and said:
"Thanks, my good lady, for this
sumptuous repast. Now let me give
you this advice: Never again let your
sympathy get away with your dis
cretion. Pm off. Ia, tai" and he
walked majesUically to the front gate.
The tramp had gone but ashort dis
lance when he became deadly sick.
He seated himself on the curbstone,
and g. few moments later, having two
or three violent spasmodic contrac-
tions OF the stomach, he lost his i'll
gotten breakfast. Indeed his stomach
would have followed suit had it not
been thoroughly dovetailed to his
diaphragm. He believed that he was
poisoned, and became very much
alarmed. As soon as he regained
strength enough to get to his feet, he
slowly retraced his steps and found
the lady standing at the front door.
MADAM" he said, in piteous tones,
''my breakfast did not stay on my
stomach. l believe Pm poisoned"
"That is not to be wondered at, !"
said she. 81 suspected your little
game, having been caught once before
in the same way, so I prepared myself
for it by dosing your coffee with tar
tar emetic. Now let me giveyou q lit
tie advice: Never again let your ras-
cality get away with your breakfast.
To beat dead beat beats every thing.
Tia, ia ?" and she shut the door in his
face.
The tramp started sorrowfully down
the street, wondering, no doubt, where
he could get breakfast that would
STAY with him.

Napoleon's Legacy TO France.
From the New Princeton Review

From the New Princeton Review.
Between 1904 and 1915 he has had
slaughtered more than 100000
Frenchmen born within the bounda-
ries of ancient France, to which must
be added, probably, 100000 ofmen
born out of these limits, and all for
him, under the title of allies, or
slain on his account under the
title Of enemies. All that
the poor, enthusiastic, and cred
ulous Gauls have gained by confding
their public welfare to him is two in
vasions; all that he bequeaths to them
as a reward for their devotion, after
this prodigious waste OF their blood
and the blood of others, is q France
shorn of fifteen departments acquired
by the republic, deprived of Savoy,
the left bank of the Rhine, and of Bel
GUM, despoiled of the northeast an
gle by which it completed it's bounda-
ries, fortified it's most vulnerable point,
and, using the words of Vauban,
'made the field square," losing four
millions OF Frenchmen which it had
assimllated after twenty years Of life
in common; and, worse still, thrown
back within the frontiers of 1889,
alone diminished in the midst of it's
aggrandized neighbors, suspected by
all Europe, and lastingly surrounded
by a. threatening circle of distrust and
rancOr

A SACRED RELIC.
Official Manuscript of the Sentence of the
Savior by Pontius Plate.
From Notes and Oneries

Official Manuscript of the Sentence of the
Savior by Pontius Plate.
From Notes and Queries.
A correspondent sends what he
believes to be correct translation of
the sentence pronounced by Pontius
PLATE On Christ. He says that this
curious document was discovered in
A. ID. 1880, III the city of Aquill in
the kingdom Of Naples, in the course
OF a search made for the discovery of
Roman antiquities, and it remained
there until it was found by the Com
missaires OF Art in the French
Army of Italy. Up TO the time of the
campaign In Southern Italy it was
preserved in the sacristy of the Car
thusians, near Naples, where it was
kept IN g. box of ebony. Since then
the relic has been kept in the Chapelo
Caserta. The Cairhusians obtained,
by petition, leave that the plate might
be kept by them as an acknowledge
ment of the sacrifice which they had
made for the French army.
The French translation was made
literally by members of the Commits
sion of Art. Demon had facsimile of
the plate engraved, which on the sale
of his cabinet was bought by Lord
Howard for $3.50 francs: 'sSentence
pronounced by Pontius plate, Inten-
dant OF Lower Galilee, that JESUS of
Nazareth shall suffer death by the
cross. In the seventeenth year Of the
reign Of the Emperor Tiberius, and on
the 25th of March in the most holy
city Of Jerusalem, during the Pontif-
cate of Annas and Caiaphos. Pontius
PLATE, Intendantof the provinces of
Lower Galilee, sitting in judg-
ment in the presidential chair

reth to death on g. cross between two
robbers, as the numerous testimonies
ofthe people prove that: ~ JESUS is
a misleader. (2) He has excited the
people to sedition. ~ He is an enc
my to the law. (4) He calls himself
the Son of God. (5) He calls himself
falsely the King of Israel. He went to
the temple, followed by a multitude
carrying palms in their hands. It
likewise orders the first centurion,
Qutrillus Cornelius, to bring him to
the place of execution, and forbids all
persons, rich Or poor, to prevent the
execution of JESUS.
""The witnesses who have signed the
execution against JESUS are: a. Dan

robabel. (3) Raphael Robani. az

said JESUS be taken out of Jerusalem

The Great New Tenor.
From the st. James Gazette.

From the st. James Gazette.
Masini, the tenor, who has just left
Milan for Buenos Ayres, where he has
an engagement, takes with him his
private physician, his secretary, and
two Wallets de chambre, to say nothing
OF g. courier who has been dispatched
in advance to make arrangements for
the accommodation of the illustrious
traveller and his retinue.
The tenor can we'll afford the state
which he affects. He is to sing fifty
times in all, and he is to receive ESQ,
900 for his services. This is at the
rate of something like quarter of a
million a year; but a tenor can not
sing every day, and as q matter OF
fact the performances are to be spread
over period of five months. But
even 96. 900 month is not bad pay
as the times go.

The Man who Saved Victoria's Life
From the London World.


Incorrect statements have been
published respecting the naval officer
who saved the queens life in 1884.
Here are the real facts: His name
was Joseph Saunders and he was
master OF the cutter Emerald. The
mishap took place as that craft was
entering Plymouth harbor with the
late Duchess of Kent and the Princess
Victoria on board. The Princess was
asking Saunders to look after a IA
vorite dog, when q steamer collided
with the cutter, carrying away her
rigging and taking the mast Ex-
claiming: "For Gods sake come for
ward, or you will both be killed -
Saunders promptly hurried the dis
tinguished party out of danger, and
would not allow them to be trans
ferred to q, boat until the mast was
made safe. The Duchess and Prin-
cess were duly grateful, and on Saun-
ders taking the dog of his future queen
to the hotel at which she stayed at
Plymouth, she inquired the cause Of
the accident. His reply was that
when admirals and other superior
officers were on board they took the
charge of the vessel out Of his hands;
to which the Princess retorted with
characteristic common sense, that if
there were not so many commanding
officers, disasters would not occur.
She also added that when she was on
board he was never to give up the
charge of his vessel. The Duchess of
Kent presented Saunders with q prayer
book and Bible. He got no special
pension or pay for saving the life of
her present majesty, and has long
been dead. Two daughters are at
present living at Southsea, and two
grandsons are in the navy.

A travelling sleight-oi-hand man

they would take for him. The In
dams said they didn't want to
sell. "Him very good dog" said the
magician. rubbing him down the back,
at each stroke taking a handful of
money from the end of his tail, also
from his mouth, ears and nose. The
Indians looked on in stolid silence,
but after the magician went away
they took the dog down to the river
bank and killed and dissected him.
To their great chagrin they found
that the sleight-of-hand man had
MIXED him of all the money.

Mr.. Kennedy has been tenant of the

Parnell has coerced him into exchanging
